First we need to make a new kernel, one with overclocking, because MTK6589 can be overclocked up to 1.7 ghz, then we will aim for CyanogenMod! These are epic news! OMG i feel like a child getting a new toy or something xD

velvicul lovers

Can you confirm it is compatible with MT6589T ?

Also can we have clear list of compatibility on the first page ( I think I will help avoid newby people like to me to ask question many time )

Great news! I sold my Xiaomi Mi2 not because i didnt like it but i wanted to buy a xiaomi mi3 but since this news came out i might order another phone not sure wich one yet :p

Does this also mean that the xiaomi red rice could be overclocked to 1.7?

Also does this mean MIUI can be ported to more devices or even get official support?

no. things like camera and displays are different across different devices

So how can people that also have MT6589 device get any use of this source?
I mean, I have some chinese copy.. H7189 model, and I would like to enable OTG support on it.. is that possible to get done somehow using the kernel source Sony provided?

Regards.

If you have time, you can compile the kernel as you wish, with make menuconfig enable the otg and things that you want.
then if the kernel is the same in your device 3.4.5 must be, you can try to copy the modules from your phone to the new compilation, camera, modem.img and things like that and try if all works.

Its all test and test and test.... I have no time, Im trying to get my sources from vowney...

Uuu well that sounds very very good, seems like all of the drivers for the specific phone model can be found in these modules, I never pulled these modules before, but I am guessing they are located somewhere in root directory of the phone, so all I need to do is to change a few things in configuration of kernel, and then recompile the whole thing back together. :)

AnTuTu benchmark is showing that I have kernel Linux version 3.4.5, but when I go to settings and click on "About Phone" tab, it shows me that I have 3.0.31 kernel version.. So I am not sure.. (attached pictures)

Anyway, thanx for the answer.. :)

    http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...es/open-source-archive-for-build-16-0-a-0-36/

    They are for Xperia C, the MTK6589 based phone!
    I tested them, they are complete!
    Archive is heavily compressed, when i uncompressed it, it was 2.2gb big!
    Let the development start!!!!!!!!

    hi,
    just came across this thread.
    would the source revealed be of any use for rom development for the Asus memo pad HD 7 (173x)?
    it has a mtk6589 chipset.

    thanks

    I already made 2 beta kernels for our Memo pad hd7, you can check the latest updates on my ROM thread (check my SIG), was already tested by 5 members, it boots and the small additions I made are working.
    The next step is to fix some small bugs, and as soon as I get my memo pad again (I smashed the LCD) I can finnaly test again the next build I made, and will release the kernel to public .


    On topic:

    Best 6589 sources are indeed the Sony's and Lenovo's ...

    Regards

    thanks~this really help me a lot!!!

    if anyone has a working build, please share instructions on how to do that.
    Would be great if custom roms and CyanogenMod will be available for this great platform!

    Hi everyone,

    since the source for the MTK6589 has been released can anyone make a custom CM10.1 rom for the Star S5? It has the same hardware as many smartphones from china (namely MIZ Z2, "x920" phones - there are many vendors, others that right now don't come into my mind).

    Thank you very much. :)

    why not start yourself?
    It's not that hard.
    The dual sim part maybe challenging.
    You just need Ubuntu 64 bit and follow this tutorial:
    http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

    You may best start without building the kernel, because some things are missing as far as I can tell.
    Start with recovery, which is pretty easy.
    One thing to mind: the boot.img structure of mtk devices is different than the default ones.
    Just read, fiddle and learn :).
